This mare is spectacular.....she is beautiful and she knows it..!

​

She is by the absolutely sensational Emerald Van't Ruytershof who is an exceptionally talented international Grand Prix and 2016 Rio Olympian stallion who has racked up international placings and wins for years.  In 2016 he also became the winner of the Nations Cup in Rotterdam and placed 2nd in the World Cup Final. In June, 2014, Emerald and his rider, Harrie Smolders (aka "The Flying Dutchman"), were 2nd in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup CSIO5* in Rotterdam and  4th in the Grand Prix Table A at the CSI3* Sint-Katelijne-Waver. 

​

Emerald's sire, Diamant de Semilly, is a son of Le Tot de Semilly, one of the best sires in the world and a famous international jumper. Diamant de Semilly was victorious at CSIO and CSIW shows and his successes include being the 2002 French national champion, as well as a team world champion and placing 9th individually at the 2002 WEG in Jerez, Spain. In 2003, he was a member of the silver medal winning French team at the European Championships. He was also ranked 3rd on the list of top show jumping sires in the world by the WBFSH in 2014.

​

Emerald's damsire, Carthago Z was a two time Olympian (1996 and 2000) and won the Nations Cup in Aachen, Rotterdam and La Baule, as well as many Grand Prix.

​

Ellie is out of our mare GrandView Fame Game (IFS) who is by the perlino leopard spotted knabstrupper/Warmblood/TB stallion out of a Le Primeur/ Brilliant Invader mare.

​

There is sufficient thoroughbred blood in Ellie's pedigree that she could have choices for a career path....be it pure showjumping or eventing.

​

She has one of the leading eventing sires in her pedigree in Rock King, who is also the sire of Olympic eventer Rock Model.  He also sired four competitors at the 2008 CCI 4* at Luhmuhlen.  

​

Rock King was renowned for his fantastic temperament, excellent paces and superb jumping technique. As a four year old Rock King won the Stoneways Potential Showjumper and was in the final twelve for the Young Event Horse Class. From there his career sky rocketed. Sadly, his career was tragically cut short whilst competing at Tweeseldown Horse Trials in 2000 where he sustained a fatal injury. He was at that time already Advanced, accruing over 200 BE points during his short career.

​

Rock Kings' dam, Rockys Double and Grand dam, Farley Mount were both prolific producers of CCI **** Eventers, including; Double Trust, Alfresco, Trust in me and Kilcashel. 

​

Folly's damsire is none other than the legendary Bohemond, HIS Premium stallion and sire of double Olympic event mare Withcote Nellie and dam sire of NZ WEG Team horse Classic Moet, a winner at Badminton.

​

​

Fame Games dam line consists of Le Primeur who has the genes of performance test winners Laptop and dam’s sire Pinkus produced this runner up of the Verden stallion licensing in 1999. Le Primeur descends out of a damline with the highest evaluation for conformation. Le Primeur has extraordinary type, expression, good conformation and a willingness to perform at the highest levels of both disciplines of dressage and jumping. 

​

Fame Game is out of a mare by Brilliant Invader who is a thoroughbred stallion who needs absolutely no introduction to the Australian Eventing market.   Exported to New Zealand in 1983, Brilliant Invader left his mark on equestrian sport in that country, siring a string of World Cup level showjumpers, as well as the Atlanta eventing gold medallist, Ready Teddy.

 

Brilliant Invader’s pedigree contains all those famous Thoroughbred jumping stallions: Phalaris, Son-in-Law, Bay Ronald and Precipitation – his dam was by one of the last sons of Precipitation, Agricola, who also sired Vicki Roycroft’s Apache – a winner of the Grand Prix of Rome.

​

Put these pedigrees together and this mare is sure to have an exciting future in the show jumping world.  She will be a fabulous sport horse for the future

Currently in foal to the exciting leopard spotted Irelkao L'Evidence for a foal that we are hoping will be a leopard spot with its sire's blue eyes.
